An Elton John Artist, Impersonator & Tribute Performer
Crocodile Rockstar
Elton John Artist: Impersonator & Tribute Performer
Crocodile Rockstar is a high-energy, high-visual-impact Elton John tribute artist who sings and rocks the piano in hand-made replicas of Elton's original costumes.
He's performed at venues like Chicago Blues Fest, Wrigley Field (for the Gay Games) and House of Blues, and has been a professional musician much of his life.
Elton is a brilliant artist to tribute because his costumes and music are colorful, fun and appeal to a huge variety of people. The show is great for people of all ages who are always welcome to sing along.

About Crocodile Rockstar
Beazley Phillips is a lifelong pianist & singer/songwriter who delivers a spectacular Elton-esque experience performed in fun handmade costumes inspired by the legend.
"My favorite Elton John performances are the solo piano tours and shows, like MTV's Unplugged or any of the solo Elton John tours he has undertaken with the piano and a percussionist. I love the intimacy that he achieves and I do my utmost to bring this quality to all my performances."
Many people refer to a tribute artist as an impersonator -- and while many people think he sounds similar to Elton, he prefers the term tribute artist because he sings in a natural voice without trying to sound like anyone else. He enjoys playing large events like festivals as well as more intimate/special events like weddings and private parties.
As an Elton Tribute artist and impersonator, I do my best to incorporate Elton's showmanship and professionalism to create magical and memorable experiences.

Reviews
Rebecca: 5/5 stars Start to finish, from booking though loading out, this performer’s team was professional, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. The performance was so fabulous and people are already begging us to have Crocodile Rockstar back again. I enthusiastically recommend Crocodile Rockstar as the best Elton John cover artist for anyone’s corporate event. Wide River Winery: 5/5 stars We book Crocodile Rockstar at least 2 times every summer -- Every performance brings new customers to our winery. Crocodile Rockstar is much more than singing and piano playing. It's a total fun experience, quality musicianship, costumes and neat stories about his inspiration, Elton John. Highly recommended booking! Matt Cardoni: 5/5 stars Crocodile Rockstar is the best Elton John tribute band in the entire world. His voice is magic; his piano skills are incredible. The energy he invests in performances is remarkable. The Elton costumes are out of this world. What a great experience! Perfect performer for gay weddings, corporate events, or any special event. Highly recommend. Tom George: 5/5 stars Beazley puts on a great act. His vocals and piano playing are spot on! He even makes all his own costumes. ****A must for any event ****best Elton John Tribute Artist |
